When did men start to fail?

The main cause of sexual aging in men is the degenerative changes in the testicles, which in turn cause changes in the brain, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and sexual function.

Generally, after men reach the age of 50 to 60, their testicular interstitial cells may gradually age and undergo degenerative changes, which greatly reduces the secretion of testosterone and the volume of the testicles. At this time, the various tissues and organs of the body gradually age and sexual function gradually declines.

After the age of 60, the testicles shrink more significantly, and at the age of 70, they have shrunk to the size of a 12-year-old child's testicles. It can be seen that the function of the testicles plays a key role in the decline of male sexual function.

Older men need longer time to achieve penile erection and need more direct stimulation of the genitals. The strength of penile erection and the amount of ejaculation of men over 60 years old usually decrease to varying degrees.

However, sexual ability varies greatly from person to person. Some people stop having orgasms at the age of 50 or 60, while others still have strong sexual desires at the age of 80. Some time ago, a famous newspaper published a report on "parent-child identification", saying that an 87-year-old man had a 3-year-old son, which might be considered an elderly person with relatively good sexual function.

Experts say it is important to recognize that there are great individual differences in sexual attitudes, interests and abilities among older people. If a person is in good health, has an orgasmic capacity and has a spouse who has an orgasmic capacity, then it is safe to assume that orgasmic capacity and sexual ability can be maintained into their 70s, 80s and even 90s.

It can be seen that good physical fitness and a healthy body are extremely important for maintaining good sexual function. In addition, other factors should not be ignored, such as social and psychological factors, which may affect or damage the sexual function of the elderly.

With the continuous increase of the elderly population in our country, the sexual function of the elderly will inevitably attract people's attention and scientific research.
